Describe the contribution of each of the following to establishing and maintaining membrane potential: (a) the Na+K+ pump, (b) passive movement of K+ across the membrane, (c) passive movement of Na+ across the membrane, and (d) the large intracellular anions.
The cell membranes of mammalian red blood cells are permeableto urea. If red blood cells are dropped into a solution of urea thatis identical in osmotic pressure (isosmotic) to the cytoplasm ofthe cells, although the cells do not swell and burst as quickly aswhen they are dropped simply into pure water, they eventuallyswell and burst. Explain. Also discuss how you would designa solution into which red cells could be placed without everswelling. (Hint: Think about whether urea will stay on theoutside of the cells and the implications for osmotic pressures.)
What happens across the membrane of an electricallyactive cell is a dynamic process that is hard to visualizewith static images or through text descriptions. View thisanimation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/dynamic1) toreally understand the process. What is the differencebetween the driving force for Na+ and K+? And what issimilar about the movement of these two ions?
Under which circumstance is the Goldman equation equivalent to the Nernst equation? O when the cell membrane is only permeable to 1 ion O when the concentrations of the ions are equal outside and inside of the cell when the cell membrane is equally permeable to all ions O when there is no charge on the membrane
In which way are voltage-gated ion channels and active transporters similar? a they are required to move small permeable molecules across cell membranes b they are proteins which move molecules across cell membranes c they utilize facilitated diffusion d they directly require energy in the form of ATP to move molecules e they generate concentration gradients
When blood glucose level rises, the pancreas secretes insulin, and as a result blood glucose level declines. When blood glucose level is low, the pancreas secretes glucagon, and as a result blood glucose level rises. Such regulation of blood glucose level is the result of A reproduction thermal regulation community homeostasis 2,279 12 tv N MacBook Air DII DD F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F1 @ %23 24 2 6. %3D * CO
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule with lipid solubility similar to that of O2 and CO2. Endothelial cells lining arteries use NO to signal surrounding smooth muscle cells to relax, thereby increasing blood flow. What mechanism or mechanisms would transport NO from where it is produced in the cytoplasm of an endothelial cell into the cytoplasm of a smooth muscle cell, where it acts?
Solution A is hyperosmotic to solution B. If solution A is separatedfrom solution B by a selectively permeable membrane, does watermove from solution A into solution B, or vice versa? Explain
Salt is being used to preserve salmon. You need to determine the time required for the salt concentration to reach a known value at the center of the salmon. The concentration of salt at the surface (CAS) is known, and so is the initial concentration (CAO) in the salmon muscle. You also know the mass diffusivity, Ds-s, of salt in salmon muscle. What type of system is this? O Steady State Diffusionn, no reaction O Unsteady State Diffusion O Steady State Diffusion, with reaction O Pseudosteady State O A through stagnate B
The Na+ /glucose symport transports glucose from the lumen of the smallintestine into cells lining the lumen. Transport of 1 glucose molecule isdirectly coupled to the transport of 1 Na+ ion into the cell. 1 Na+out + 1 glucoseout → 1 Na+in + 1 glucoseinAssume the following conditions at 37 °C: [Na+]in = 12 mM, [Na+]out =145 mM, [glucose]out = 28 μM, and Δψ = -72 mV (inside negative).(a) What is ΔG for transport of Na+ from outside to inside under theseconditions?(b) What is the upper limit for [glucose]in under these conditions?(c) Which of the two hypothetical symports shown below (A or B) wouldachieve the highest concentration of [glucose]in under the conditionsdescribed above? Briefly explain your choice. A: 1 Na+out + 2 glucoseout → 1 Na+in + 2 glucosein B: 2 Na+out + 1 glucoseout → 2 Na+in + 1 glucosein

Assume that a membrane permeable to Na+ but not to Cl- separates two solutions. The concentration of sodium chloride on side 1 is higher than on side 2. Which of the following ionic movements would occur? a. Na+ would move until its concentration gradient is dissipated (until the concentration of Na+ on side 2 is the same as the concentration of Na+ on side 1). b. Cl- would move down its concentration gradient from side 1 to side 2. c. A membrane potential, negative on side 1, would develop. d. A membrane potential, positive on side 1, would develop. e. None of the preceding is correct.
